Our X5000 Linux kernels work in virtual e5500 QEMU machines and we have successfully tested NVMe, SCSI, VirtIO and IDE drives. Maybe you can find some information in the following thread:
Hyperion forumI was able to boot Debian 8 PowerPCSPE in QEMU on the A1222 with the following command:
qemu-system-ppc -cpu e500v2 -M mpc8544ds -enable-kvm -m 2047 -bios ./u-boot.e500 -nographic -kernel ./uImage-kvm-guest -drive file=debian_ppcspe.img,index=0,if=virtio -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -append "rw root=/dev/vda 1"
Adding an IDE bus and drive:
-drive id=disk,file=disk.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-cf,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0
